Jarle M. Fotland

Jarle M. Fotland serves as an Associate Professor at Kristiania University College within the School of Arts, Design and Media and the Department of Creativity, Storytelling and Design. He teaches interior architecture and spearheaded the development and launch of the university's Bachelor in Interior Architecture program during 2012-2013. His professional background includes extensive work as an interior architect and furniture designer, with artistic exhibitions across Norway and internationally.

His research investigates the experiential dimensions of spatial design, focusing on how individuals perceive, navigate, and emotionally respond to built environments. Fotland simultaneously engages in sculptural practice that challenges boundaries between functional design and fine art, creating works that explore sensory and psychological interactions with space. This dual methodology enriches academic discourse through theoretical spatial analysis and tangible creative expression.
